Chapter 6: Learning The Truth

I went home and my moms asked me about my date, they're way too curious. But I told them and said they were so proud of me for not judging. I never do, we can't choose who to love, even as a kid I never made a big deal about my mom's preference. I joined Luna watching my little pony, I just wanted a nap, but I can't say no to her. She's always there when I need her. But I ended up falling asleep, she just giggled and put a blanket on me.

I woke up three hours later, that was a really good power nap.

"Hey, sleepy head." Mom said before going back to her show.

"Where's, Ma and Luna?"

"Luna wanted cupcakes, so Kristy took her to the bakery to get some. I decided to stay home with you." She said while hugging me.

I saw the TV and there was a scene where the dad hugs his daughter like it was the last time. And got me thinking.

"Mom, what happened to dad, how did he die?"

"I guess you're old enough to know the truth." She sighed.

"I was young, I went to a party cause I wanted to make friends, yes I was a loser. But that party was just a trap, someone gave me a drink and it was spiked, that was the sperm donor. I woke up with so much pain from down there."

"Mom, I'm so sorry." I hugged her as a few tears escaped.

"I didn't want you to know about that, so I just said he died, which is true. He was found next day dead from an overdose. But he gave me you, I knew I was young, but once I had you in my arms and you held my finger with your little hand." She said while grabbing my hands. "I couldn't let you go, you were and still are, my Baby girl." She hugged me tight.

"I love you, mom. Thanks for not giving me up."

"I love you more." She said as I snuggled to her, I can't believe someone would do that to her. I'm so glad he's not alive. Bastard.

Two hours later Ma and Luna came back with cupcakes and cookies. Luna went to her room.

"What's up with the puffy eyes?" Ma asked.

"Mom told me about the sperm donor, I'm so glad he's not alive, no one should go through that."

"That's true, princess. Your mom deserves the best." She smiled looking at mom.

"But, even though I went through hell that night, I was blessed with you. plus you're a mini me." She said making us chuckled.

Later that day The doorbell rang, I went to open it, and it was Ryan.

"Hey, shouldn't you be with Gabi?"

"I was with her, but she said she had tons of homework. You don't?"

"I finished them earlier. But come on in, we got cookies and cupcakes."

"Did your moms bake them?"

"Yup." I said as he made a run to the kitchen. I just laughed, Ryan loves moms cupcakes. I went to the kitchen.

"I'm seriously going to need two boxes of cupcakes before I return to my apartment." He said before eating a cupcake.

"Swing by the bakery before you leave and we will have them ready." Mom said as Ryan nodded.

"I will, I think I gained like ten pounds since I moved there." He told us.

"You look the same." I said as I wrapped my arms around him, he pulled me closer, this was normal for us. Mom just looked at us and said she was gonna watch a movie with Ma.

"Feels like when we were kids and your moms had cupcakes ready for us." He said before eating a piece of cookie.

"True, wish you were in senior year with me." I said while looking up at him.

"College is a nightmare, but talking and texting with you makes me not be homesick." He smiled making me smile.

"I know this is random but, Gabi thinks you have another girl cause you were cold with her at the lake house."

"We talked about it, and we're good." He said and I gave him a fake smile.

--Ryan--

I decided to not break up with her, I couldn't bring myself to do it. I'll give this one more chance then if things aren't working, then I will break up. But I do know one thing, and that's, that I'm starting to like Aria again, and it scares me cause to her I'm her best friend. I don't want to ruin our friendship.

"Yoohoo, you still here?" Her voice broke me from my thoughts.

"Sorry, my mind went away for a bit."

"I asked if you want to watch a movie?" She said while pinching my cheeks.

"Love to." I said as she hopped on my back and I carry her to the couch, nothing new here. We've been doing this since kids.

We put a horror movie, yes we love this genre. When I'm with Aria time goes by so fast, we have so much fun together.

After the movie, we went to play the piano, we took piano lessons as kids and loved it. after every lesson we went to her house and practice, we got really good. We played for our families and friends on Christmas. Good times.

Should I take a risk with Aria? This is going to drive me crazy, luckily I'm going back to my apartment on Sunday. I need to think things through.
